The Steubenville Youth Conference is a Catholic conference sponsored by Franciscan University of Steubenville, Ohio that brings together thousands of high school teens each summer for a powerful encounter with Christ. Through inspiring talks, worship, Eucharistic Adoration, Mass, Reconciliation, and fellowship, teens are invited to deepen their relationship with God and grow as disciples of Jesus Christ.
Steubenville is more than a conference. It is an opportunity to:
- Grow closer to Jesus Christ
- Experience the power of the Eucharist
- Receive God’s mercy through Reconciliation
- Meet other Catholic teens who share your faith
- Strengthen your prayer life
- Return home inspired to live your faith every day
Many teens describe Steubenville as one of the most impactful experiences of their high school years.

The friendships and faith built during this weekend often continue long after the conference ends.
What past St. Patrick attendees have to say:
“I thought it was going to be boring and I was not excited at all. Fortunately, that wasn’t how it went at all. Steubenville was an amazing experience for me and everything about it was very eye opening to me and my faith. I’m definitely going back next year and hopefully bringing new people with me to be able to continue growing in their faith as I did.” – Leilani
“Each day, a couple of people would come on stage and talk to all the kids there. This really helped me not just understand my faith better, but just seeing adults who stuck to their faith and seemed so happy and complete while worshiping Jesus made it seem possible to do the same. Being there with all these people who wanted to worship God was such an amazing feeling.” – Natalie
“One of my favorite parts of this experience was Adoration. It wasn’t just silently praying in front of the Monstrance. During this Adoration, they had music and lights and were walking around with the Monstrance so you really felt the presence of Jesus.” – Kailey
